Drunk driving suspect flees, crashes, dies, hurts 3 in Romulus

ROMULUS (AP) -- Southeastern Michigan authorities say a 42-year-old drunken driving suspect who was fleeing police ran a red light, crashed and died after injuring two officers and another driver.

The Detroit Free Press reports that two police officers pulled over Adam Carlisle late Saturday, but he speeded off as an officer walked toward the car. Police say in a statement that the Romulus man rear-ended a car, injuring the woman driving it. They say he then lost control of his car and struck another Romulus police car that was on its way to assist.

Police say two officers and the female civilian were taken to hospitals for treatment.

Romulus police say Carlisle had a previous record of drunken driving. They say state police are investigating.
